FAQs
Are these suitable for actual basketball games?
While the Converse Weapon Mid has basketball roots, they are best suited for casual wear and light recreational play. They are not designed for the high-performance demands of competitive basketball.
What material is the upper made of?
The upper is made of durable leather, offering a classic look and feel.
How is the cushioning in these trainers?
They feature CX foam cushioning, designed to provide next-level comfort for everyday wear.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and construction. Hand clean using a damp cloth and mild soap as per care instructions.
What does the 'Mid' in Weapon Mid refer to?
The 'Mid' refers to the mid-top profile of the shoe, which sits just above the ankle, offering a balance of support and style.
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer or Converse. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it to the sizing guide. For UK size 8, ensure your foot measures approximately 26.7cm.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff initially
Leather shoes often require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time to allow them to conform to your foot.
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between parts of the shoe. Try inserting a talc-free powder or a thin insole to reduce friction. Ensure laces are tied appropriately.
Scuff marks on the leather
For minor scuffs, try buffing gently with a soft cloth. For deeper marks, use a leather conditioner or a specialized leather repair product, following the product's instructions.
Outsole losing grip
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Dirt and debris can reduce traction. If the outsole appears worn down, professional advice or replacement might be necessary.
